Escape the Night Season 3

Chapter 2

The carriage came at 7 pm. It was laced with golden vines and ethereal flowers set on an ivory bed. The passengers tried to get a glimpse of what the surrounding countryside looked like, but the curtains concealing the windows were made of heavy drapery and pinned down. As the guest climbed the stairs and entered the estate, they had no idea about the world of turmoil they had just entered.

Skyler: My name is Skyler Graves. I'm the steampunk.

Oli: I'm Oli White. I'm a Big Game Hunter.

Thomas: My name is Thomas Sanders. I am the musician.

Andrea: My name is Andrea Russet. I am a mystic.

Colleen: My name is Colleen. I am an entertainer.

Eva: I'm Eva and I'm a journalist.

Tyler: I'm Tyler Oakley. I am a thespian.

Lizzie: My name is Lizzie. I'm a designer.

Matthew: My name is Matthew Patrick and I'm a cinematographer.

Daniel: I'm Daniel Preda. I'm an editor.

Jordan: I'm Jordan Maron and I am the composer.

Tom: My name is Tom and I'm a globetrotter. 

The guests mingled and chatted in the main foyer while waiting for someone to take them to the dinner.

Daniel: It's a little bit confusing when your boyfriend invited you to a house party that you had no idea that he was even planning, but I recognize people here, so I'm just trying to have a good time.

Colleen: This house is insanely huge. Joey, what even is this place?

As the guests mingled and laughed, none of them saw the female walking down the grand staircase. She had on a long midnight dress embroidered with diamond droplets that looked like stars in the night sky. The partygoers looked up and smiled at her. She smiled back and continued down the staircase.

"Hello!" Colleen called up to the woman. Everyone followed her gaze to the woman's dark eyes.

"Hello everyone. My name is Selene. I was directed by Joey to great you. Please, enjoy the drinks he has sent for you to enjoy. I will return for you when all is ready."

Tyler: This bitch looks shady as hell. I don't trust her. At all.

Drinks were passed out as Selene climbed back up the stairs and disappeared around a corner.

"Um... does Joey not remember that I'm underage? So, thanks, but no thanks on the drinks." Skyler politely declined as the server tried to hand her a drink.

"Wait, you're underage?" Tom exclaimed.

"Yep. I'm 17" She replied.

"Well this is your chance to live it up!" Tom shouted, holding up a glass.

"I still don't understand why Joey invited me, but I'm assuming that this will be better than any high school party I've gone to. As for the alcohol thing, I'm just trying to graduate with a clean record. So, probably not." Skyler laughed and turned away to talk with the others. Eva and Oli hung off to the side, whispering to each other,

"So, nothing has happened yet. We should leave while we still can." Oli murmured.

"Yet! And besides, we can't just leave everybody here. Skyler hasn't even graduated yet! We should find the other survivors and talk with them." Eva replied.

"Fine."

Eva and Oli wandered through the bubbling crowd.

"So, has Joey ever held a party like this before?" Eva questioned Daniel.

"Not that I know of. Unless he has some sort of secret party planning life that I'm unaware of." He laughed.

Eva: So, Daniel doesn't even know about Joeys psychotic dinner parties. Probably doesn't want to take the risk that his boyfriend might die.

Everything seemed to be normal until Selene descended the stairs.

"Everyone please follow me to the main dining area. Dinner is ready for you all." She called over the noise. She seemed to floating over the ground as she led the group into the dining hall. Everyone found their seats and began to indulge in their first course.

Thomas: Everyone seems to be having a great time and so am I, but Andrea and Eva seem really on edge about something.

The dishes were cleared away and Selene said that the main course would be out shortly. The group resumed their conversations until the kitchen door swung open. Suddenly, the light flickered out and confused murmurs filled the room. Screams cut through it all and when the lights illuminated again Lizzie, Eva, and Colleen were gone. And there was Joey, sitting on a golden throne, dressed in dark attire and evil smoldering in his eyes.

A/N- Oo! Cliffhanger! Yay! Sorry about not specifying who these people are. I think you guys already know who Oli, Eva, Andrea, and Tyler are, (If you don't, then why are you reading about Escape the Night?) But if you want to know who all these other people are, comment or message me and I will give you those names. Thanks for reading this chapter and be sure to vote!
